The New school Law,

To the Editor of the GRAPHIC:
In many ways the new school law is a
decided improvement over The old, but
there surely was II mistake in leaving
out all opportunity for general town
ship school meeting. The peopa of
each township would prefer, doubtless.
to meet once each year and talk over
school matters. One of the best results
OF the Independent Districts of Iowa was
in the fact that it gave an opportunity
for an annual meeting of the people.
Township meetings of all kinds are the
essential schools of Democracy. and let
us have them perpetuatcd. Why not
have general meeting each yean to
elect treasurer, and then look over the
financial affairs of the school township z
AS for me. would like to know the
opinions of the people. aad have a
change in this direction MS soon as posi-
bic.

After the ball game the umpire. Perry

After the ball game the umpire. Perry
Sallee, was found hiding in a barrel il
the cellar of the Kimball House.
The boys from Colvin helped oul
nicely in the hall game. They are al
good ball players and gentlemen.
Experts like Col Hamilton. BRAD
Orcutt and Henry Cushing say there was
u mighty lot of pretty girls in from the
country.
A glass ball shoot took place in the
afternoon. There We're six or seven
contestants. We are unable to obtain
the score.
Considering the small amount of mon
ey 1t cost and the amount of kicking and
wrangling over the matter, the ceiebra-
ton was Il big success.
The tro:.ing race was farce; II
couldn't be otherwise. AS long as
enough money could not have been
raised to warrant a big purse the race
should not have been placed on the pro
graiune; it was so much money thrown
away

He was guileless college youth,
That mirrored modcsty and truth;
And sometimes at his musty room
His sister called, to chase the gloom.
One afternoon, when she was there,
Arranging things with kindly care,
As often she had done before.
There came knock upon the door.
Our student. sensitive to fears
OF thoughtless comrades laughing ieere,
Had only time 20 make deposit

Then haste the door to open vide:
His guest unbidden slept inside.
He was n cheory- faced old man.
And with apologies began
For calling, and then lot him know
That more than fifty years ago.
When he was in his youthful bloom,
He'd occupied that very room;
SO thought he'd take the chance, he said,
To see the changes time had made.
''The same old window, same old view
Ha, ha. the same old pictures tool"
And then he tapped them with his cane.
And laughed his merry laugh again.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press
The drouth in Illinois, Iowa and Mis-
consin is becoming very serious. and the
Milwaukee Ecening Wisconsin says that
if copious rains do not fall soon crops
will be lighter than for many years; in

entire failure. The hay crop is said to
be already blasted and oats are spind-
ling out. Thus far the drouth has not
been felt in Minnesota, Dakota, Michi.

IN PARLIAMENT.
A Lively Debate Over a Pro
claimed Irish Meeting.

LONDON, Sept. lin the house of
commons this evening Mr.. Dillon, Ma
tionalist. moved to adjourn in order to
direct attention to the proclaiming of a
meeting announced to be held at Clare.
The proposed meeting. he said, was a
perfectly legitimate one, and the
people would insist upon holding
it. Any disorder or blOodshed that
resulted would be on the head
of the government. The. rack
renting, exterminating, ruffianly land
lords,whO feared public opinion wanted
bloodshed. He would tell them that the
meeting would be held whether there
was bloodshed or not. Mr.. Balfour,
chief secretary for Ireland, said he
feared that the speech of Mr.. Dillon
would not fail to have the evil effect of
intiaming the people. In proclaiming
onIyf followed the example of Earl
Spencer, who had invariably suppressed
public meetings whenever he thought
theywould be likely to lead to disturb
ance. The district in which this meet
ing was announced to be held was the
most disturbed district in Ireland,
where by far the largest proportion of
AGRARIAN CRIME
was committed. The action of the gov
ernment was not due to pressure from
landlords. AS to the responsibility for
what might happen if the proclamation
should be defiied, that would not rest
upon the government, which was acting
through desire to preserve the peace,
but upon those who advised the people
to resist the laws. Cheers. Mr.. Healy
asked the house to consider what the pro-
clamatiOn meant. He said it meant the
stopping of the peoples utterance when
their voice should be loudly heard. The
peoples only chance during the coming
winter of getting fair play lay in their
boldly assembling in public. E. Robert
son (LiberaD read Justice Stephens
definition of an unlawful assembly, and
contended that the proposed meeting
sid not come within that definition.
r. P.O'Connor said he considered that
the proclamation simply meant that the
government had proclaimed war against
the Irish people. The motion to adjourn
was rejected-97 to 81. Mr.. Balfour, re-

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 1.-Gov. Gordon
has received information from Dodge
county of case of brutality to the con-
victs in Degrees camp which has been
unearthed by the Dodge county grand
jury. AT that camp, where fifty con-
victs are worked, the superintendent's
name is Bryant. One of the convicts
was made to work by the fire. He COM
planned of being sick, but with the lash
Bryant compelled him to keep at work
until at last the convict fell dead at his
feet. The jury has indicted Bryant for
murder, but he heard of it and escaped
into Alabama. The other convicts were
equally badly treated. Another case
was that of a negro who escaped from
the camp. The managers supposed that
he would make his escape by the rail
road and sent a guard to intercept him.
The guard went to a cut below the sta
tion where there had been an old mill.
After some time he heard the clinking
of chains and knew that the negro was
coming. The negro came in sight and
was shot dead. The guard said he hailed
the negro and he ran. This statement
was controverted by the fact that every
shot was fired into the negro's breast in

REDFIELD, OAK, Sept. L. Com
missioner Bushell and County Attorney
Sterling, of Worthwhile, brought to
town this morning the details of the
most brutal and atrocious murder that
ever shocked the community, The
particulars were revealed upon an eX-
animation conducted by the coroner, who
was summoned upon a report that the
victim had suicided, which theory has
been current upon our streets since
Tuesday morning. Clara Reidel, the
murdered girl, was about twenty
years of age, and lived with
her brother and sister on a
farm about four miles southwest
of Worthwhile. The two last named
were absent on Monday assisting a
neighbor, about two miles away, in
threshlng. On returning, about in
the evening, they discovered the house
girl lying ON the bed, her right side be-
ing already much charred. Beside her
on the bed lay a gun belonging to the
house, one barrel of which was still
loaded and in the same condition it had
been since Saturday. These evidences
gave rise to the rumor first current,
and came near satisfying the coroner'S
jury. but the district attorney, believ-
ing he discovered

insisted on a more thorough inquiry. A
post mortem was then held, when, par

was discovered dagger thrust laying
the chest bare. The heart was found to
be literally cut in two. the knife pene-
trating the liver, cleaving the skin
from the neck, where finger marks were
distinctly traceable, removing all dCubt
that the girl was first strangled and
then butchered. The fiend to cover his
crime then set fire to the house and
fled. The remains are so

victim suffered even worse fate than
death. The county board to-day offered

ferret out the crime.

A DRUNKEN FIEND.
He Shoots His Wife and Also His
Daughter

PITTsBURG, Pa, Sept. 1-Thomas
Joyce, a vegetable peddler, living on
Old avenue, fatally shot his wife and
seriously wounded his daughter, aged
eighteen years, shortly after 1 o'clock
O'Clock this afternoon. Joyce had
been drinking hard for several
months. This morning he started
out to sell his horse and
wagon, but failing to do so returned
home at noon. His wife and daughter
were washing clothes when he came in.
Without any warning he drew a re-
volver and fired four shots in quick sue,
ceSsiOn. Two of the bullets struck Mrs,
Joyce and the other two filled the
body of the daughter. Both fell bleed
ing to the floor, and the would-be
murderer then turned cOolly from the
house and started down the street. Be-
fore he had gone far, however, he was
captured and taken to the Central sta
ton. He was somewhat under the in
f1uence of liquor, but did not appear
much concerned at the terrible deed.
He stated that as he could not sell his
horse and wagon, he had determined
to eXterminate his family and then kill
himself. Mrs. Joyce is unconscious
and will die. One ball entered her brain
and the other lodged in her thigh. The
daughter has an ugly wound i'm her side
ami another in her hip. Her condition
is quite serious, but it is thought she
will recover
